Chapter 095 Meritocracy

After taking a sip of water, Zhao Xing began to announce his governing policy: "I will first say a general direction, set a small goal, and then everyone will make up for it during the period." Here, what we are promoting is the principle of knowing everything, saying everything, saying everything, saying that those who are not guilty, and those who hear are full of precepts. Then he explained with a smile: "We Zhao people are still martial, but here, we can only fight, not martial arts, identity, we must maintain the identity of nobles." ”

There was a light laugh below, and even the old-fashioned Zhou Tong didn't have any scolding for such an atmosphere.

In this era, Zhou Li is the benchmark to restrain everyone, but it is also an era of martial arts and ruthlessness, everyone fights for one thing in the court, and then it is common, and it is common for everyone to draw their swords and face each other. I think that the monarch of Chen died in the accidental injury of a group of ministers who disagreed with each other and fought with each other, becoming the second monarch to die in the 800 years of the Zhou Dynasty. The first one died in the manslaughter of the assassin's assassination, and the unlucky guy was the monarch of Korea, called Han Aihou, who was very decrepit.

So, since then, everyone has changed the rules of carrying swords in the hall, or it would be too dangerous.

However, in order to advocate the style of martial arts, Zhao Xing restored the custom of ministers carrying swords in Zhao State, so he reminded him so for his own safety.

But he didn't know that in fact, in the future generations, the people killed by the mouth in the main hall and the court were far away, far higher than the sword.

"As soon as we arrived in Daigun, the situation turned out to be much worse than we thought, and it was a mess, so we had to go down and investigate, and then bring back the actual situation in various places and tell me."

Everyone thinks so.

"In order to avoid everyone being like a fly without a head, I first divide everyone's authority and investigate according to the scope of their duties, what is this called? It's called targeting. ”

Then he pointed to Xu Jie: "I have now decided to set up the Acting County Xingjun Mansion to replace the County Shou Mansion." Then you, Xu Jie, have become the first long history of my Xingjun Mansion. ”

This is a new official title, Xu Jie doesn't know what level his official position is, this can't just be taken in a daze, so he is straightforward: "What does Changshi care?" ”

"All but me are in your charge." Zhao Xing simply told him.

Xu Jie immediately ushered in a look of envy, jealousy and hatred, according to this terms of reference, this is the help of a country.

is still the same sentence, Xiang Bang is the great butler of the monarch, and this long history is the steward of the feudal monarch.

So, Xu Jie raised his little shoulders and was as proud as a little rooster.

"And then? Mr. Qi Fei, as the head of the Xingjun Mansion, among the talents we recruited, select your two deputies, I call him Cheng, and then select twenty more secretaries. Now you understand your authority, right? ”

Qi Fei's expression was not shocked: "My subordinates understand, my duty is equivalent to the head of the imperial court." ”

"Who's to say it isn't? However, the household department in the imperial court has 3,000 stones, and we have to downgrade it by one level, 2,000 stones, I don't know if it is enough for your expenses. ”

In this era, 2,000 stone of grain was enough for a family of ten to hire dozens of slaves and live a prosperous life.

"That's enough."

"Tomorrow, you will take your selected subordinates to the 15 counties and districts under our jurisdiction to investigate the grain stocks and income and expenditure of the county government treasury, and at the same time report the number of land and population in each county, so that we can have a bottom in our hearts."

"My subordinates understood."

"Of course, the personnel you choose need to be reported to Shi Zhou, the official of Xingjun Mansion, and now use it first, when the time comes, Shi Zhou will not pass the inspection and will be dismissed, you understand this."

Zhou Tong was a little confused, because along the way, he always picked and chose from this master's family, and from time to time he contradicted it, he thought that this time he would arrange a position and give himself a face, and it would be good to be an idle person, but he didn't expect that he was directly given the position of the highest status official envoy of the 6 ministries, and he was really grateful in his heart, but the reserved nature of the scholar made him face Qi Fei directly: "The officials you choose, you must be extra careful, I will follow up and investigate, if they make mistakes, you can't escape the involvement, I will pay toβ€”β€”" Then I looked up for a moment.

Zhao Xing pointed at Xu Jie with his finger, indicating that I don't care about this matter, you go and tell him.

"I'll report back to Changshi."

Xu Jie squinted and nodded.

Zhao Xing said again: "The lack of officials in various places must be not small, but there must also exist, I don't know which one is good or bad, Han Guang, as an envoy of the Criminal Department, went down to assess the number of people, and understood that in the case of the deficiency, they must review their merits and faults, and those who are competent will be submitted to the Zhou envoy to continue to stay in office, and those who are incompetent must also find out the reasons and put forward the reason for recall." Then he said earnestly: "But don't be too harsh this time, don't make a prince and a courtier, after all, the local officials understand the local situation, and it is still necessary to be tolerant, do you understand this?" ”

Han Guang stood up and bowed: "The Lord trusts him so much, do you dare to be conscientious?" ”

"Waste to be revived, agriculture-oriented, industry and commerce at the same time, this is our policy policy, field production and planning, I see that Ren Tian can be competent, I call him the Ministry of Works, this time you also select manpower, hurry down, find out our jurisdiction, the best field, the middle field, the lower field, how many are there? See how many new fields can be reclaimed, and at the same time, you need to select those technical talents, let them survey the minerals within our range, especially iron ore, to lay the foundation for our future development. ”

Ren Tian stood up and said to Zhao Xing: "Since this department is of such nature, I don't plan to select subordinates among the scholars, but want to select among the craftsmen we recruit, for example, I am optimistic about Lu Ban as my deputy, is this okay?" ”

This is actually out of line, the upper echelons should all be from noble backgrounds, and even the managers of such a small lord's fiefdom should be at least the scholar class. Directly letting craftsmen be officials is indeed a huge breakthrough.

"Wei Wenhou once said that the sky has changed, this is a critical time for life and death. Change can be strong, and if you don't change, you will die, so he founded the Xihe School and trained scholars to be officials, so he became the first reformer under this rigid system and became the overlord in the later period.

Eclectic talent reduction, is the real change, our employment should be the same, with competent people, just like I do to you, I don't ask you what your family background is, I only use your ability, for example, you Ren Tian, when you roll up your pants and go to the field, to observe the stubble of those crops, I know that you understand this, so I appointed you to do this position. Then you should adhere to my employment policy and use knowledgeable people, not laymen. ”

Ren Tian and all the others thought so.

"All of you here will be in important positions in the future, and I will not assign you subordinates personally. I'm lazy, and I think that's a waste of my spirit. You choose your subordinates, and then report to the Zhou envoy for assessment, and after his assessment, hand it over to Xu Changshi, and then the two of us will sum it up, and the approval will be over. ”

Everyone needs a diligent Lord, but in fact, in the hearts of all people, they are troubled by the kind of Lord who will bow down to the power of things. Everyone wants to be in their place, have a certain amount of autonomy, and not be a puppet of anyone.

Zhao Xing's words just now show his attitude, that is, in the case of controlling the overall situation, completely delegate power to everyone, as long as you don't toss out of the scope of my rules, follow you.

"The situation around us is very complicated, and our policy goals are clear to everyone, but the current situation is that we have the heart of the thief and the courage of the thief, and we have no strength, so we have to develop steadily. For the three surrounding countries, what we are doing now is to be gentle, and Lou Fuhao said, I am his benefactor, and he will give me a face, at least for the time being, and he will not come to disturb me.

Yan Guo is an old prince, and he is still reasonable, and he bullies the weak, he can't take that face.

Zhongshan in the south, after Bai Rong, not speaking of etiquette (Zhou Li) is our great enemy, and we will destroy him in the future. But that's for the future, and now I have to show goodwill with him and strive for a period of peaceful and stable development for us. So Zhao Huang, as the envoy of the Ministry of Rites, depends on your performance. I hope that within three years, these three countries will be our friends, not enemies. As for stabbing a friend in the back in the future, that's later. Then he looked at Zhao Huang, who stood up in fear: "Three years, I ask that within three years, all the forces around us are our friends, can you do it?" ”

Zhao Huang bowed: "Never disgrace the mission." ”

"During these three years, we must make great efforts to make the country prosperous, immerse ourselves in development, and lay a solid foundation for our sake, and the ultimate goal is for the war." looked at Zhao Hao, who was eager to try: "In the past three years, you, as the commander of the first army of our Daijun, must train a strong army for me." You can rest assured, everything you need, the military envoy Wei Yong will be your strong backing. Korean use-"

"Lord."

"I'm looking forward to you, so do it yourself."

"Do your best, and then die."

"Okay, that's the end of today's meeting, if there's anything you want to say, I won't listen, because you don't really practice, what you say is empty stuff, according to my words, it's all. When it comes to details, I've always adhered to it, don't care about the details, so you go to Xu Jie, he is responsible for the details, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

Then he stretched out a finger: "I stipulated, give you a month to go down and investigate, and give me a detailed report when you come back. Then before everyone could understand, Zhao Xing got up directly and walked back to the back.
